Ilha De Mocambique is a small island off northern Mozambique's coast, historically significant as a major Portuguese trading port and a crossroads of African, Arab, and European cultures.
Ilha De Mocambique is a remarkable destination that offers visitors a glimpse into Mozambique's complex colonial history. The island is divided into two distinct areas: the stone town with its Portuguese colonial architecture and the macuti town with traditional reed and palm houses. Its well-preserved buildings, narrow streets, and unique cultural blend make it a living museum of maritime history and architectural heritage.
